QthlfOHgh and arranged 1 ngitudlnal eh -nment spececlepart. Mou'iit'ed 011 th shaft l'li's anelongetecl'sleeve membef 5*tl1rough which shortsha fts or studsfi and llef heiiring member? is monntediip'on' the engl of shaft 6 end roller *beeringj member 77 is mounted iipon the end of shaft 6' and disposed on the opposite side of thesheft 1 and sleeve 5,-1 The"rt:ition of the shaft: 1 causes rotation of the sleeve" because the sleeve is keyed oto the shaft 1 by 'ehzi ftsoi' St HClS G and 6. It to be noted Ythzit the slots 4] end 41? Are elongated so as to perinit a longitudinal; movement of said means of the short sleeve with relationtofthe shaft 1 regardless of Whether the shaft is rotating ornot.

1 The reuend of said sleeve 5. is provided "with an annular external groove 01' i-ecess 8 in which ismounted a ring or annulusS), the it being sufliciently loose to allow the sleeve "to rotate freely Within the ring, "This ring "9 isproyided withstiids l0 and 10 extending ffi'om opposite tides thereoi. Each etud has a rollenll; 11" mounted on the end thereof, which roller is positioned Withihend'engages the sides of the clohgetedslots 12 and. 12

formed in the side members 13 and 13' of the'fmme. This construction forms the support for the rear end of the driving shaft 1.

pair of Wheels 01' rings 14 and 1.4 arepositioned about said sleeve {Send 1 and yertical cross section taken 1 looking t 'members 21 mounted upon each end.

'nected together by means of shafts 23 provided with enlarged central openings and 15 so as to provide space between the wheels or rings 14 and the sleeve 5. These wheels or rings are preferably of channel shape in cross section, as indicated at 16 and 16 so as to receive and bear against the sides of the roller members 7 and 7. The channel is of sufficient depth to permit relative movement between the roller members and the rings or wheels, as indicated in dotted lines.

These rings or wheels are pivotally sup ported on the side members 13 and 13 of the frame by having studs or projections 17 and 17' extending laterally therefrom, which studs have suitable bearings 18 and 18 in the side frames. This construction prevents the wheels or rings 14 and 14: from rotating on their own axes but permits them to swing or be swung on the axis of the studs 17 and 17 from a perpendicular position to an angular position and vice versa. When the rings or wheels 14 and 14 are in the perpendicular position, the sleeve 5 is rotated freely without any longitudinal or reciprocating movement, but when these rings or wheels 14% and 14 are moved or tilted to an angular position, the sleeve 5 will be moved back and forth longitudinally of itself or reciprocated due to the travel of the roller members 7 and 7 in the angular path formed by the channels of the wheels or rings 14 and 14'.

I provide lugs or extensions 19 and 19 extending laterally from the lower portion of each of said wheels or rings 14: and 14 and these lugs or extensions are bored to receive the supporting shafts 20 and 20 which extend therethrough. These shafts have roller On each side of the frame and within the side members 13 and 13 thereof I provide cam plates 22 and 22. these cam plates being conand 23. The outer ends of these shafts extend beyond the outer face of the cam plates into vertical slots 24:, 24 formed in the side frame members 13 and 13. Each cam plate is provided with a pair of inclined slots 25 and 25, which slots receive the rollers 21 and 21 on the shafts 20 and 20. These inchned slots are provided with rounded portions or dwells '26 and 26 at each end in which said rollers rest and are locked at the extreme end of their movement in said slots.

These cam plates are moved up and down by means of the arm 27 and a bell crank opcrating lever 28 which is pivoted to the frame as at 29 and has the handle and dog and ratchet construction 30. As this handle is moved, the cam plates will be moved vertically up and down, causing movement of the rollers 21 and shafts 20 and 20 due to "their engagement with the sides of slots 25 and 25. As the rings or wheels 14 and 14 are connected to said shafts 20 and 20, these rings or wheels 14-14 will be moved or tilted or turned upon their pivots 17 and 17 according to the amount of movement given the shafts 20 and 20 by the movement of the cam plates 22-22. The angular adjustment of the rings or wheels 14 and 14 determines the amount of longitudinal movement given to each roller 77 and its shaft 6-6 and, consequently, the sleeve 5 for each rotation of the parts. 'llhislongitudinal reciprocatin g movement is transmitted through the ring 9, shafts 10 to link or other connecting members 31*31 which may be connected in any suitable manner with any mechanism designed to utilize oscillating or reciprocating movement.

It is seen, therefore, that I have provided a mechanism which dispenses with gears and springs and in which the control and operation are all positive and in which adequate provision is made for adjustment as to speed and length of stroke regardless of speed of the driving shaft.

The roller members 7 and 7 constitute bearing members as they engage the sides of the channels formed in the inside of the ring members 14 and 14, which, therefore, coustitute abutment members against which the bearing members bear during their travel in rotating with the shaft and sleeve.

that I claim is 1. A mechanical movement including in combination, a driving shaft, a sleeve mounted thereon and slidably keyed thereto, a hearing member connected to said sleeve and adapted to rotate with said sleeve and said shaft, a ring constituting the member against which said bearing member bears, said ring being mounted against rotation with said sleeve and shaft but mounted for pivotal movement to and from a vertical position so that the engagement of said bearing member therewith causes reciprocating motion of said sleeve, and means for moving and hold ing said ring in its adjusted positions.
